The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) is part of the Utah Department of Natural Resources for the state of Utah in the United States. The mission of the Division of Wildlife Resources is to serve the people of Utah as trustee and guardian of the state's wildlife.[1][2] In addition to managing and protecting Utah's wildlife, UDWR manages hunting and fishing opportunities within the state.

The division is also responsible for Hardware Ranch near Hyrum, The Eccles Wildlife Education Center in Farmington, the Fisheries Experiment Station in Logan, and the Great Basin Research Center in Ephraim.
